Judge Danforth 1365 Woodburn Road Salem, Massachusetts 01971 August 1, 1692 Dear Judge Danforth, I write to you in dire urgency to not trust Reverend Parris. I hath not always been a man of God, my sins burn at me everyday and I am by far no saint; however, I hath seen the greed in the Reverend’s ways. Since the day he hath arrived in Salem, he expressed need of golden candlesticks, as if the glorification of the Lord and being in his holy house were not enough. His preachings of damnation and hellfire hath corrupted his views and implanted the possibility of devoted Christians giving their names to the Devil.  At the beginning of these witch hunts he complained of his sixty-pound salary, stating that he was “not some preaching farmer with a book under my arm; I am a graduate of Harvard College.” The greed and jealousy was instilled in his mind before the excuse of witches. I would also like to mention that it seems rather ironic that the man full of greed should b...

Hey guys! I realize I haven't posted much in the past few days, I've been kind of busy. But here's a little catch-up info. Thursday: I turned in my Wizard of Oz Allegory paper, I got assigned writing a letter as John Proctor to Judge Danforth about Parris (Crucible) in English, had Ballet class where we did quick bar work, jumps in the center and got to stretch, then in Modern we did our floor warm-up, a few exercises and then added an eight count to the dance we're working on. After all my classes, I decided to go to Subway and ordered a Big Philly Cheesesteak because I was so so so hungry. Friday: Today was a cold rainy day and although I love the rain, I HATE the cold. Anyway, in EOC Prep we were put in groups and given review flashcards, then I went to eat lunch with my friends Emilia and Channel, next I had my voice lesson with Dr.Bailey (who I love and is fabulous) and we worked on a few pieces (The Gentlemen Is A Dope from Allegro and Home from Beauty ...

Hey guys! So today was an amazing day! It began with a driving lesson with my dad at 9 AM. For those that don't know, I get extreme anxiety driving and sometimes even riding in cars. But I've been working on it and driving everyday for an hour or more has really helped relax that anxiety. Then my mom and I went to Fort Campbell, KY for a doctors appointment and grabbed lunch afterwards. We ended up at Sam's Greek Cafe and got gyros, pita chips and hummus. My history class went relatively well, we discussed Empire and War in the United States during the 1890s and ended right before World War I. Then our professor discussed our history paper which is due Thursday and that I will be writing all of tomorrow. I find it easier with essays to write them all in one sitting so then I don't loose any train of thought, which I would if I started Monday and finished Wednesday. It would read as if three different people wrote the paper. Next I went to Starbucks to...

Hello people of the internet! Sorry I haven't blogged in a LONG time, I've just busy with a lot of things. Sorry, lame excuse.  Anyway, lets catch up a bit. My last blog was last Wednesday, so since then... I found out I got a 95 on my History midterm (which I totally did not expect),  I read Acts I-III of the Crucible for my English class, I completed an EOC practice test, I began learning about arithmetic and geometric sequences and series, I did a lab in Chemistry relating BCA charts with mole ratios and mass ratios,  I went to the golf course with family for my brother to practice since he recently joined the middle school golf team,  I finished reading the book "One to Nine: The Inner Life of Numbers" by Andrew Hodges and it was amazing (fun fact: did you know that Uranium was named after the finding of the planet Uranus in the same year, 1789), I've been going driving with my Dad everyday for an hour to begin the pr...

Thursday: February 26, 2015 If you're a hobby/avid reader than this is the perfect list for you. I've spent most of my life with my nose in a book and traveled the world, multiple in some cases, by a single turn of a page. I love the formulation of language and how words can express so much more than just meanings but also emotions and actions. For some, reading may just be a chore but for others like me, it's a relaxing pass-time. Never fear, the upcoming list is not just classics or "old-fashioned" books (although classics are my favorite), but I also added in plenty of teen/young-adult fiction. So without further adieu...  Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte  Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (may not be everyone's cup of tea but I honestly adore it) The Outsiders by S.E.Hinton  Lily Dale series by Wendy Corsi Staub Promise by Eva Schloss The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold The Chosen by Chaim Potok Vampire Acade...
